They have been assigned the placeholders S11, S12 & S13 respectively. There are already 'hackers' [risk takers?] who have built GnuPG with these algorithms enabled. [Werner, David & Marcus collectively shudder] Until such time as these Algorithms are included in the 'preferences' on One's Key and that Key is disseminated there is no real 'danger'; however, once the Key is in circulation with those preferences listed on it then should the placeholder values later be changed and a Sender fails to 'refresh' Your Key from a reliable source then potential confusion could exist. :-\ I may be mis-reading Your question. Upon re-reading I am of the opinion that what You desire may already be covered with use of the preferred-algo-preference string placed within gpg.conf. Anyway, just My 2 cents and I shall wait until I am clearer on what You are suggesting.
